Study exposure to radio waves

I would study the impact of radio waves, before making it over everyones head, like it or not. In a way, it's good that the US is so slow in matching these other countries offerings.

I don't want a Radio signal that strong over my head all the time.

You're already bombarded every day by so many radio waves that I doubt the wi-fi/wi-max discussed here will make you cook any faster.
